I saw the Target 14.99 ad and now I have to pick this one up tomorrow with the Matrix 10th and The Princess Bride. Argh, when I got into BLU I was only planning on upgradeing certain titles and the Bonds other than CR weren't in the picture. Ah well, the best laid plans of men and all...
Yeah, I guess I was hoping that the HD masters that went into Blu would be free of this. Although, ESPN and ABC apply liberal amounts of DNR to their HD sports broadcasts so it could be that small monitor thing. Not enough seem to care about how it effects the picture for them to do anything...
I understood why it was done back in the day, but honestly with today's HDTVs and the clarity that generally comes therein, why are studios doing this to their products??
Yes just dont want to get one that I like only to find out it wont let me utilize my SBR speakers on 5.1 material. I worked with the Yamaha line and they dont have that option. They have PII and other surround sets(theater, concert, etc) but I want the option to have it play the sound straight...
Kind of an interesting question, but I am wondering how common it is for a 7.1 receiver to play the same information on both sets of surround speakers during 5.1 playback. It would seem a simple operation, so the SBR speaker plays the same sounds as the Surround Right speaker. Essentially you...
I saw this film last night and thought it was one of the best action flicks I have seen in a long time. Definately brutal stuff, but it adds a sense of "this is how it is" to it. Having seen all of the Rambo films recently(and all for the first time - thanks DVD collector's set) this would...
Yes, upper right corner leads to MB and the door can be closed. There is an archway in that corner and the other corner leading to the kids rooms. The SW is open and the NW has a larger archway heading into the kitchen. To the immediate right of that is a smaller archway with a small bar. TV...
This seemed halfway to my problem. I am moving into a new house in the next couple of weeks and this is my floorplan http://www.crestwoodbuilders.com/wellington.html. As you can see the family room is quite large but has no corners. Any recommendations as to where to place my 10 inch Velodyne...
Anywhere to go to find out what studios think a film will do before its released?? Interesting to see what the studios think of a film before its released, versus what fans and box office trackers think.
Ratattoiulle is having solid holds as well. I really think with as many screens as most folks can get to the days of movies knocking other movies off the hill are behind us. Since the movie market is never stagnant, there is always something coming in the next week or two to keep the cycle going.
I guess now we wait and see if it can take out Pirates, Shrek, or even Spidey 3 for this summers BO Crown. Something I realistically did not think it could do.( I saw a domestic take around 250-275M)
Transformers posted a 9.9M for Monday. Anyone else surprised that it was that high?? I mean, most summer blockbusters have a large drop for the first monday, but thats usually the 4th day in release. This one was its 7th full day in release. Any thoughts on that one?
I had heard TF2 and 3 were greenlit, but with Bay getting ready to do Prince of Persia it was unsure if he would do TF2. Also, I know Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman wont be doing the screenplay since they will be doing the next Star Trek film.
I think as is, the movie would have worked better for those who didnt like it if only for a couple of things. 1st would have John Turturro toned down a little bit. He was way over the top, when he probably should have been just slightly over the top. Second, a meeting of the decepticons to...
Shia killed Megatron the same way that Prime was about to have Shia kill him. Megatron had taken a pounding from the missles and was weak, same as Prime. Prime told shia to put the allspark into his chest to destroy the allspark(and likely himself). So Shia took it upon himself to destroy the...
When Megatron says something about human courage and emotion or something it sounded very much like Agent Smith. The rest I thought Weaving did a good job to create a seperate voice for Megatron than that of Elrond or V or Smith. Oh, I know Starscream's G1 VA has passed away, but the VA that...
I believe the sequel has already been greenlit. Though they said 2010. Go to some of the transformer fan sites and you would think the folks at HTF were watching a different movie than them.
Trailer was very well done. I Think the old school transformation FX was added as a little nod to the fans, as it sounded out of place. I Dont think we'll see it in the film, though. The Transformations in general look great.
From what I understand the seeding was changed to prevent situations that happened in 2006 where the best 2 teams in the league(record wise) were the Spurs and Mavericks and they played in the 2nd round. Imagine the Eastern Finals of 1998(Bulls/Pacers) being a 2nd round matchup if same teams...
